Information stored by cookies

Cookies store technical information such as customizing content, accepting the use of cookies and personal configurations. Sensitive information like credit or debit card numbers, bank account numbers, identification numbers and images among other things are not usually stored by cookies.

Third party cookies: Are those which are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the editor, but by another organization which treats data obtained by cookies.

If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor him/herself but the information collected is managed by a third party then these cannot be considered as own cookies.

According to the amount of time they are activated on a computer

Session cookies: Are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data when the user enters a web page. They are usually used to store information which is only for the duration of the service requested by the user on one occasion (i.e. a list of products acquired).

Persistent cookies: Are a type of cookie where information continues to be stored on a computer and can be accessed and dealt with for a certain period of time by whoever is responsible for the cookie, which could vary from a few minutes to various years.

Depending on the purpose of the data obtained through cookies, we can make a distinction between:

Technical cookies: Are those which allow the user to surf a web page, platform or application and use different options or services which exist there, for example: control traffic and data communication, identify a session, access parts with restricted Access, remember elements included in an order, make a purchase from an order, apply for registration or participation in an event, use security elements while surfing, store content for broadcasting videos or sound or sharing content through social networks.

Cookies for customizing: These allow the user to access a service with some general predefined features in accordance with a set of criteria in the user’s computer, for example the language, type of browser for accessing the service, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.

Analysis cookies: These allow those responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the user on the websites which are linked. Information collected by this type of cookie is used to measure the activity on websites, applications and platforms and to create browser profiles of users for said sites, applications and platforms, so that improvements can be made regarding the analysis of data for the use made by users of the service.

Advertising cookies: These allow more effective management of advertising space, which when applicable, the editor has included in a web page, application or platform from where the service is offered, regarding criteria like the edited content or the frequency with which adverts are shown.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These allow advertising space to be managed in the most efficient way, which when applicable, the editor has included in a web page, application or platform from where the service is offered. These cookies store behavioural information on users obtained from continued observation of their surfing habits, which means that based on this a specific profile for showing advertising can be developed.

Consequences of deleting cookies

As an example, the possible effects for not authorizing the use of cookies could be the following:

Products chosen in a shop do not upload, so that a shopping cart is not created, preventing the chance to finish purchasing a desired product

It is not possible to access the client area, personal area or any other which requires confirmation

Necessary data cannot be gathered for analyzing a website, preventing the editor from knowing how to improve it

It is not possible to share the contents of a website on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, among others

It is not possible to make comments on the blog

It is not possible to use any social network, as all of them use cookies to offer their service

It is not possible to show third party advertising, reducing the income for those using this method

Browsing on specific websites could be considered as spam as the user cannot be identified

The user can delete and/or block cookies, for all browsing or for one specific website. This configuration must be carried out in each browser, if it is only done in one browser and not the others on the same device, then it is assumed that cookies are accepted on the other sites. The editor cannot carry out this action for the user, the user must do this in a responsible, specific way for each browser and/or device required.

As each browser has different configurations, the user should go to the help section of each one to see each specific case. In this section the most common ways are mentioned, however, due to browser or operative system updates which are used, these could vary. The user should always check the user manual for his/her browser, this is only a guideline.
